02-Apr-2000 -- Kangaroo Island, a large and scenic
island southeast of Adelaide, is blessed with a spectacular coastline
and several beautiful national parks - and a degree confluence near its
southern coast. The confluence is located roughly halfway between Seal
Bay and Remarkable Rocks. To reach the confluence, I drove westward
along South Coast Road, and parked beside it, just after it crosses the
Stun'sail Boom River (yes, that's really its name!). This point is 2 km
due north of the confluence.

Avoiding the area that's closed off due to the presence of
phytophthora fungus (see photo 5), I bit the bullet and hiked the
remaining 2 km through the bush. The bush is thick in many places; in
other places it has a network of kangaroo tracks that ease the way.
(During the hike to/from the confluence, I saw a couple of kangaroos in
the bush, but they disappeared before I could photograph them.)
Eventually I reached the confluence, which - unfortunately - is rather
boring. At this point, as you can see from the photograph, there's
nothing but small gum (eucalyptus) trees all around. For the price of a
4 km slog through the bush, I was hoping for something a bit better - oh
well...
